    Well, you know what to do.

    Oh, how I love this.

    EDIT:
    Oops. Well, I tried to create the thread as soon as update came, but forum lagged way too much, and someone beat me by 3mins.
    If mod sees it, please merge threads. I tried to delete, but I can't find an option - and lagging makes this even more pain.

    Im actually really disappointed we've had weeks of teasers, quotes from Keen saying "SOON", A special day in SE and yet still no planets. This is just getting ridiculous, i have no problem with set backs. If they had one they should have come out and said Sry guys going to take a few more weeks.

    I think it will again not have planets. But bugs will be fixed and become more stable.
    I think early December will be the EARLIEST date for planets. If we don't get it by 16/12/2015 depending on how Keen treat the Christmas break (or if they even have a break at that time of the year) planets will be June maybe July.

    SE will be mostly dead community wise if Planets wont come out in the next few patches.
    They should have kept the Teasers in a little longer until they were closer to release.
    This is just a embarrassing way to stretch it out.
    I understand that Keen wanted to show us something to look out for, but as a Developer, you should know that "soon" for the crowd will never be even close to your soon.

    Spider models were in for a quite of time already. Not sure about sounds. But that'd explain large update size.

    Uhhh guys,I think you are thinking about this wrong...

    Twitter post was posted at 1pm CET time, on the 22nd of October. It said join us at 8pm for the live stream tomorrow. That means in t-22 hours, the update was huge, my bet is they had to push the thrusters out so as we focused on learning it. One day from now, the planets will be released during the live stream.

    If I were to speculate from a business perspective, I'd say that they have set a date set for the release of planets coinciding with sometime before the christmas sales and a promotion campaign on the steam store to revive sales with their new USP.

    A tad melodramatic don't you think. Planets could very well kill the "community" if released earlier. Assuming planets aren't already ready and not rife with game breaking bugs.
    Then again if planets don't get released before May next year I might start to agree with your sentiments regarding the community.
    I must be super hard to exite or something because im not hyped for planets. I am somewhat looking forward to them but my mood for them is only a few points above mehh level.
    I find it most ironic that people who play SPACE engineers are so keen to land back on a planet. Deep space got to boring huh? Lol.
    The only interesting thing planets will provide is a perfect environment for wheeled vehicles and walkers to become practical and some limited exploration content.

    It's unlikely imo, but if it happens, I will tip my fedora to devs.
    That is, I'd do it if I had any other Fedora than my 2nd system on my lappy.

    Ok I may have worded that incorrectly.
    They Community will be dead, but not because planets wont be released, but because most of us will be annoyed be the N-th "Planets Teaser" that states "Soon!!!!!".
    Like I said, they should have pushed that "Soon" marketing a bit to the back. But once they started, it got out of hands and they even keep doing it with "Soon" on every Teaser.
    I would welcome it more if they say "Hey guys, we said Soon last time but we ment to be atleast a month or more".. But if somebody keeps telling you "Soon", you believing in what he says decreases with every new made statement.

    Planets in my mind were always VERY good idea for PvP Multiplayer. If I get my irl friends and/or brother etc to play with me, we sure will make planetary wars.

    Also if you were to have a multiplayer PVP server of a confined space you might as well use the planets since you have a higher chance of players actually encountering one another.

    I am putting my money on planets tomorrow. 2 years, a live stream, all these new files, not today, but tomorrow. I have to go to the shops and get ready. Food, a pee bag, and a seat with a hole in it! I will not be moving for days!

    My biggest complaint about the hype (partially fueled by Keen) is that it made me stop playing in my survival world with the idea that I'd be starting from scratch "soon". I've been doing other things, but it kind of made me get bored with SE when I really wasn't at all bored in survival :(

    And of course now the whole sunk-cost fallacy is at play... if I start back up in survivial, I just know we'll have planets that very next patch... I've waited this long, what's one more week of no survival play.

    Don't know if anyone noticed, but in today's planet teaser, when it zooms out from the planet you can clearly see a snowy section (north pole) and a desert section lower down, with the forest section in the middle.

    Basically, biomes uber confirmed with video footage as proof! :D
